Hawai‘i’s Big Island isn’t just big — it’s still growing! Formed by fire and sea, it’s the youngest island in the Hawaiian chain, and at more than twice the size of all the other islands combined, it offers endless landscapes to explore.

🌋 Did you know? Kīlauea is one of the world’s most active volcanoes, and eruptions here have literally created new land in recent years.

🏔️ Fun fact: Maunakea is the tallest sea mountain on Earth, stretching more than 33,000 feet from seafloor to summit — even taller than Everest when measured this way.

🌍 Another marvel: Maunaloa, its neighbor, is the most massive mountain in the world, covering nearly half the island’s surface.

🌱 Adventure everywhere: With 10 of the world’s 12 climate zones packed onto one island, you can go from lush rainforest to volcanic desert, snow-capped peaks to warm black-sand beaches — all in a single day.

🌿 Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park is the largest park in the state, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can walk through lava tubes, hike along craters, and witness the living Earth in action.

Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic escape under the stars, or a bold journey off the beaten path, the Big Island offers a world of adventure and wonder unlike anywhere else on Earth.
